2021x01 Billy Monger's Big Red Nose Day Challenge

  • 2021-03-18T19:30:00Z6h

To raise money for 2021's Red Nose Day, professional racing driver Billy Monger pushes himself to the limit as he takes on a truly unforgettable celebrity challenge - walking, kayaking and cycling 140 miles across England. Already an enormous test of mental and physical endurance, to complete this incredible challenge Billy will have to overcome the unpredictable British elements and the odds. Four years ago Billy became a double amputee as a result of a horrendous racing accident.

To make it to the finish line, Billy will have to walk further than he's ever had to before, kayak for the first time in his life and learn how to cycle again for the first time since his crash. But if anyone can do it, Billy can. As a successful racing driver, Billy is already used to pushing the limits of what can be achieved.

Each stage of the journey takes place in a different part of the country, with Billy joined along the way by a host of surprise celebrity supporters.

Join Rob Brydon as he trips the light fantastic amongst the funniest, sweetest and silliest musical sketches and performances from the Comic Relief store cupboard.

The UK's biggest night of comedy and entertainment is back, bringing together stars of stage, screen and the movies for an epic three-hour comedy special, entertaining the nation with hilarious sketches, live performances, big surprises and stunning music acts - all to raise much-needed cash for good causes at home and across the world.

Joining Sir Lenny Henry live from the studio are Davina McCall, Paddy McGuinness, Alesha Dixon and David Tennant.

Among the unmissable moments: the greatest disaster movie never made, featuring Keira Knightley at her wits end; the hosts of Top Gear facing interrogation by their most savage critics to date – and not one of them is old enough to get behind the wheel of a car; and a special message from Geraldine Granger, who takes on this year's fundraising challenge to lip sync to her favourite song of last year, Juice by Lizzo.

The One Show have raided their cutlery draw to help soccer stars-turned-presenters Alex Scott and Jermaine Jenas take part in the world's largest and longest Red Nose and Spoon Race. Fans of Fleabag and Normal People get a confessional close-up as the stars of the two shows meet for a mash up like no other. Comedian Tim Vine is on a mission to reward the men and women of the UK's military forces by spreading a smile, and some of the UK's best-loved comedians have just 24 hours to get together and perfect their opera voices under the watchful eyes of a world-famous mentor. Then they'll perform live to the nation for one night only.

Paying homage to the video for Harry Styles' single Treat People with Kindness, Comic Relief gets the nation up and dancing for Red Nose Day 2021. And Jack Whitehall hosts a Comic Relief Zoom meeting that quickly descends into chaos.

There's music from Gabrielle, The Proclaimers, the cast of Back To The Future: The Musical and a host of celebrities performing a Bridget Jones anthem, and as usual there are films highlighting incredible and inspiring stories of the peopl

Presented by Jason Manford and Amanda Holden, this live extravaganza features special guests, comedy and the chance for viewers to win a number of once-in-a-lifetime prizes, all in support of Comic Relief. Plus music performances from Rag'n'Bone Man, and Joel Corry and RAYE.
